   The case I have documented here:

   http://paste.slitaz.org/?7f87d6dc2af0e324#hnfy9oZH+7P26o6gujYxfsdLMPfdDF1LN/bfVcfunD8=

   May be that @Ilev or @az_ua are able to interprete the data towards a solution? ;-)

   The log says Xorg didn't find module "nv" (which is used in your ST4). Did you install package xorg-xf86-video-nv?

   Yes - but I booted from the Live-CD. When I got the black screen I recharged the packages and then used tazx. According to it nv was installed, but not used. With lsmod I only saw nouveau. - As far as I remember, but vague, in this case one has to blacklist nouveau from the beginning. But how to do that with a Live-CD I do not know.

   @michaelbischof, not sure whether this is of any use to you or not, but I had a similar problem with a nVidia Geforce 9800 GT card (pretty old). I ended up downloading the nVidia 304 driver from the nVidia site and compiled it. It runs without any issues now and can run Compiz as well - except that I need to recompile it sometimes when certain dependencies are updated.

   The blacklisting thing is for avoiding a manual unloading/loading at each boot. But for a test you can do this:
   

   modprobe -r nouveau
   modprobe other_module

   *However*, you're talking here about the kernel module. This is not to be confused with the Xorg driver!

   "According to (tazx) nv was installed, but not used.": can you post that log then (Xorg.2.log IIRC)?

   @Ilev
   Thanks! I will do this but I cannot do it before 27.12.2015 as I am not at home now. Have a happy Christmas, an analog one, ofcourse! ;-)
   And thanks to you and everybody else in the slitaz team for your kind and straight support with this last year!

   Solved now. I used a Live-CD slitaz-rolling from 25.11.2015. I got again a black screen. Then I recharged the packages with
   tazpkg recharge
   and typed „tazx“, selected „auto“. 2 packages, something like „mesa-dri“ and another dri-like thing were installed.
   Then I typed „slim“ and got into my Xscreen. Lsmod shows me that the nouveau-driver is in use.
